Football on Prescription?!

Imagine your doctor prescribing football matches instead of pills for depression! In Gloucestershire, patients with mild or moderate depression can now get free tickets to Forest Green Rovers games as part of a new scheme. The idea? Get people out, socializing, and feeling part of a community—because loneliness can be as bad for your health as smoking. Not everyone’s a football fan, but it’s a fresh take on mental health support that’s way more fun than a waiting room! #Health #MentalHealth #FootballTherapy
